Real Life Gray Kitty Gray Kitty was truly a stray. Abandoned on a college campus, he was so emaciated that I thought he was a kitten. Soon I found that he had a urinary tract blockage and required major surgery. After surgery, Gray flourished. He gained weight and was "king of the cats" in my house. Gray taught me a lot about attitude. Nothing ever intimidated him- not even large dogs. Gray loved to jump into the shower. I think he liked the warmth and he didn't seem to mind getting wet. He'd always let me put him in a sink of warm water to keep his white paws sparkling. Gray ate so much that his tummy got big and round and I would laugh about him "being fit for basketball". For the first six months that he lived with me Gray would only sleep on my chest and he would purr all night long. Gray died in 2002 of old age. I don't know how old he was but he lived with me for twelve years. Trudy L. Himes

In the 1960s, a young American president helped initiate the civil rights movement, captured the imagination of a nation with the establishment of the Peace Corps, launched the space age, nurtured the birth of the computer/digital age, and began the escalation of a war in Southeast Asia that exacted a horrific toll on the lives and emotions of his countrymen.Sheltered by the foothills of the White Mountains from the world events swirling around it, Dartmouth College resplendently approached 1969-the 200th anniversary of its founding as a school for Native Americans. As the smallest of the Ivy League schools, it was known for its dedication to a rigorous undergraduate education, its isolation from urban centers and sports prowess, and the intriguing manifestations of its all-male culture.In Days of Splendor, Hours like Dreams, author and 1967 Dartmouth College graduate Charles "Chuck" A. Hobbie offers a detailed, frank, and unpretentious memoir. Hobbie remembers the splendor and the fullness of his undergraduate days in the last decade of Dartmouth's all-male culture. He recounts the minutiae of his courses; friendships with classmates; his dates; and the faculty; academic, social, musical, and sporting events; the extraordinary beauty of the college's location; and his evolving affection for the remarkable school where hours passed like dreams.

AUTHOR'S NOTELong a hotbed for quality athletics, Chester County, PA has been developing superior athletes, superb athletic teams and highly-qualified coaches for decades and decades.About thirty-five miles west of Philadelphia, Chester County's documented sports history dates as far back as the 1870s when it was first recorded on paper for those alive then to read, and for future historians and sports fans like we are to review years later.Sportswriters make a living documenting the highs and lows of amateur and professional competition, from the constant mood swings - euphoria one minute to the pure agony of defeat the next - to the personal and impersonal sides of the game.From tennis to volleyball, soccer to baseball, cross country to track and field, football to softball, basketball to skateboarding, wiffleball, golf and wrestling to Frisbee, there have been incredible individual performances from Chester County athletes over the years, too many team championships to remember, district, state and national titles, and humble coaches developed through longevity, perseverance, resiliency and dependability.Some players have become household names while others have their moment or two of glory and fade into the sunset.Who can forget the spring of 1970 when Avon Grove High School under the skilled guidance of the late Bill Miller, who had never played basketball, won the PA state Class B boys' basketball championship, doing something no one else could do then- stop Mansfield and its 6-10 phenom Tom McMillan, who would later have a great professional career. Broadcasters Art Douglas and FrankFarley, now both deceased, announced the game on WCOJ radio as the 1970s version of "Hoosiers" unfolded from inside that brown Philco on the nightstand.Devon Prep won a state Class A boys' basketball title in the 1990s; Downingtown High School's girls, led by Tina Nicholson and Tora Suber and ageless Bob Schnure who is still going strong today with over 600 career coaching wins to his credit, came frombehind to win a remarkable game over Penn Hills and the state title in the early ' 90s.Who can forget Downingtown's state football championship in the 1990s, Immaculata College's surprise 52-48 upset of West Chester State College to win the National Women's Collegiate Basketball Tournament in 1972, or West Chester winning the first-ever women's national basketball title in the late 1960s.How about Charlie Perrone' s West Chester Warriors, who won 40 straight baseball games in the Ches-Mont League in 1965-1967 with future first round draft choice Jon Matlack doing the majority of the pitching. The southpaw Matlack later pitched in the Major Leagues with the New York Mets and Texas Rangers.Kennett Square turned out Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Herb Pennock, Coatesville High School gave us Richard "Rip" Hamilton, a National Basketball Association star, and Billy Joe, who scored three touchdowns for the New York Jets in the Super Bowl in the late '60s and later coached football at Cheyney State. John Chaney, Jack McClellan, Ross Kershey, Charlie Way, Jack Wendland, Joe Senser, Jim Pribula, Dave Cox, Bobby Owens, Neil Serpico , Glenn Killinger, Walt Funk, Dick DeLaney, Bob Boyer, Ed "Moose" Townsley, Mel Lorback, Jim, "Chunky" Klunk all were household names at one time with Chester County ties. And, don't forget Andy Toth of West Chester High who set a Ches-Mont boys ' basketball single-game scoring record in the mid 1960s, hitting 51 points in a lopsided West Chester win over Downingtown, a game in which Downingtown, as a team , had only 51 points total. That record will never be broken.There are so many names, so many memories, and not enough space to do justice to them all.As a sportswriter and sports editor in Chester County for nearly 15 years, and as a local sports fan for many decades more, I've seen my share of athletic drama, accomplishments, feats which will never be topped, a

With this said she was given the courage and the strength through the love of God to raise and nurture four dependents, 3 sons and a husband, who was rarely there at times. All of a sudden things started to happen to the family things that were so unbelievable. She felt such pain in her back from a forklift that created a muscle disorder through out her entire body, but God kept her going. She is such a courageous woman and she has struggled through many things such as the loss of loved ones and getting caught in the midst of fire. But through it all with the help of God, she has been able to find true love and happiness in her life.

Anyone who has piloted an airplane can relate to some of my experiences. If not, you should still enjoy some of the humorous stories. For example; One day, the pilot of a single engine Piper Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a McDonald Douglas MD-80 landed. The MD-80 landed, rolled out, turned around and taxied back past the Cherokee. Then I heard some quick-witted comedian in the MD-80 crew get on the radio and said, What a cute little plane ! Did you make it all by yourself ? Our hero, the Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with,"I made it out of MD-80 parts. Another landing like that, and I'll have enough parts for another one".This book gives you a look into the real world of flying, for a livelihood and some of the funny and sad things that happen in the world of aviation.

This unabridged work includes a previously distributed DICTIONARY OF LATVIAN PROVERBS, making it unique and more attractive than similar publications.A translating dictionary, like this one, is a practical dictionary that translates words in existing texts. It does not, as a rule, provide descriptions or explanations, nor does it set norms of how words should be spelled. The aim of dictionary users can be either to understand the source language (the language of the headwords) or to translate it into the target language(the language of the translation equivalents). The user's first language can be either the source language or the target language. This makes for four possible types of interlingual dictionaries (descriptive, prescriptive, or translating).Existing Latvian-English dictionaries indicate that they are intended for users whose first language is Latvian and whose purpose is to translate it into English. This dictionary is intended primarily for users whose first language is English and who wish to understand texts written in Latvian. This, of course, does not preclude Latvian speakers from using it to translate from Latvian into English, i.e., to produce English texts. English-speaking Latvians may, in fact, find it helpful for accurate and natural translation.Other features of this dictionary are: the number of entries(over 106,000), which is more than double that of any other Latvian-English dictionary; the use of American rather than British English; an extensive coverage of technical terms from all fields of science and technology; the comprehensive inclusion of spelling variants; and the inclusion of colloquialisms, common speech words, vulgar terms, slang, barbarisms, selected regionalisms, and terms found in folkloric language. [A dictionary of Latvian proverbs is included in the back.The entries of this dictionary were collected from various extant monolingual and bilingual Latvian dictionaries, general and specialized: spelling dictionaries, technical dictionaries, etymological dictionaries, general encyclopedias, periodical literature, and many Latvian speakers. Of the latter, I want to single out the contribution of the late sea captain, Inats Lejnieks. In his time, the captain had commanded full-rigged sailing ships with Latvian crews, and he supplied the Latvian equivalents of the names of sails and principal ropes, spars, and part of the hull. I was fortunate to have captain Lejnieks share his expertise with me as this material was not available anywhere else.

In turn, she becomes narcissistic and inattentive to her son CJ. Now CJ is a typical, five year old boy in every way. However, his tearful expression of pain from his mother's neglect is both the pathway to his death and the gateway to her deliverance. Witnessed only by Simone, the tear stains that CJ leaves behind manifest as blood stains. But Simone is too self-absorbed to follow this extraordinary blood trail. And it's not until CJ ends up on his deathbed that she realizes the critical impact her lack of maternal love and nurturing has had on him.

After the northeast storm of 1992 destroyed the Ocean Grove Fishing Pier, Carol and Bob, a good friend, decided it would be a funny practical joke to put a dummy on the end of the ruins of the Fishing Pier. Bob named the dummy, Ralph. Neither Carol nor Bob thought that Ralph would last more than one week, but it turned out that he survived the summer, fall, and winter. When the pier was rebuilt in the spring, the members of the Fishing Club asked if Ralph could become a permanent fixture. To this day Ralph can be seen watching over South End Ocean Grove Beach.
